Transform Public Services with Ad Hoc and AWS
Ad Hoc partners with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to provide government agencies secure, scalable, and modern digital solutions.
We use AWS’s cloud infrastructure to accelerate delivery of mission-critical services. Our expertise spans Digital Services, Data Architecture, and Application Development. We transform public-facing platforms and build high-performance data systems for real-time insights. This approach ensures faster time-to-value for the agencies we serve.
Ad Hoc offers three key services to maximize impact at scale with AWS technology:
- Digital Services
- Data Architecture
- Groundwork
Digital Services
Ad Hoc uses AWS to build scalable, user-centered digital solutions for government agencies, streamlining operations and increasing citizen engagement.
Why Ad Hoc?
Ad Hoc launched a site for the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) allowing insurance issuers to validate drug and provider coverage data on HealthCare.gov. Starting from zero code, CMS received a live, minimum viable product (MVP) service pilot users in under a month. This rapid development was possible through the use of AWS scalable cloud infrastructure.
When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Ad Hoc quickly built a response dashboard to measure the trajectory and success of the Department of Veterans Affairs’ (VA) digital services. Our AWS expertise ensured a resilient, cost-effective dashboard that met the unique demands of the crisis.
Platform Development
Amazon ECS and AWS Fargate
Deploy containerized applications, orchestrate efficiently, and scale mission-critical systems.
CloudFront and API Gateway
Deliver content and manage APIs securely for external-facing applications, improving cross-platform performance and access.
Lambda
Automate event-driven tasks and back- end processes, enhancing platform responsiveness and flexibility.
Digital Service Operations
CloudWatch and CloudTrail
Monitor and log application performance, resource usage, and compliance. Provide real-time insights and proactive alerts.
EventBridge and Lambda
Automate tasks and workflows. Trigger responses based on system events to enhance operational efficiency.

Data architecture
We create scalable data architectures tailored to public sector needs. Our solutions allow agencies to harness their data’s full potential. We use advanced AWS data services including Amazon S3 for secure storage, Amazon Redshift for data warehousing, and AWS Glue for data integration.
These architectures are resilient, performance-optimized, and cost- efficient. They provide real-time insights through data analytics and ensure secure storage of sensitive information.
Ad Hoc has built data platforms for federal agencies such as the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Our solutions comply with government regulations while delivering powerful analytics capabilities.
